What is Alpaca Silver?- Alpaca Silver is made from an alloy of copper, zinc, iron and nickel. It has properties similar to stainless steel but is a very light weight material that will not rust or tarnish. At Deco Belle, all Andes earrings have surgical grade steel earring hooks, not Alpaca Silver earring hooks. Accept nothing less. This makes Alpaca Silver very affordable. To care for Alpaca Silver jewelry, do not use silver dipping liquids on your Alpaca Silver as this will harm it. As per any jewelry do not spray perfume etc directly on it as this will cause Alpaca Silver to discolor because of the alcohol.
